During this time, Tal became the favorite of Lorgar but Erebus attempted to manipulate him to his own ends, going so far to try and earn his trust by resurrecting Cyrene. He later fought in the Shadow Crusade alongside World Eaters 8th Captain Khârn, whom he had become friends with during the course of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Īfter Istvaan V Argel Tal gathered together survivors of broken Word Bearer companies and formed the Vakrah Jal, the Chapter of Consecrated Iron, a new elite unit of Possessed Marines that would train in the fighting pits of the World Eaters aboard their flagship Conqueror. To honor their memory he took up two near weapons: the Guardian Spear that killed his close friend Xaphen and the Power Sword that slew Cyrene. In the aftermath of the battle Argel Tal frequently visited Cyrene's tomb aboard the Fidelitas Lex. During the fight against the Custodes sent to watch over the Word Bearers, Cyrene along with most of the Gal Vorbak were killed and Tal was utterly devastated. Later while leading the Gal Vorbak in the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Argel Tal descended on Isstvan V against the Raven Guard and their loyalist allies, the Salamanders and the Iron Hands. However Erebus would later claim that this was only a potential future. He is said to be killed by the Primarch Sanguinius after rampaging through a squad of Imperial Fists. It was shown to Lorgar by Ingethel the Ascended during his sojourn into the Eye of Terror that Argel Tal will become much more powerful, becoming taller than a Primarch in his Daemon form, and will fight and die during the Siege of Terra. Despite his accomplishments, Tal held many doubts about the future and confided frequently with the Confessor Cyrene Valantion and over the years the two became very close. In honor of his achievements in the Chapter, his Primarch installed him as the Captain of his Gal Vorbak (the "Blessed Sons") an elite cadre of warriors who were the first to wear the crimson colour on their power armour. He returned to the Legion, and after Lorgar's request he divulged to the Primarch his experience in the Immaterium, providing useful insight for the Book of Lorgar. While in The Eye, he was bonded, unknowingly at first, with the daemon Raum. Being onboard the light cruiser Orfeo's Lament alongside Ingethel the Ascended, Argel Tal witnessed the horrible world beyond the Eye of Terror, while undertaking The Pilgrimage ordained by Primarch Lorgar. Eventually Argel Tal took up the role of Captain of the 7th Assault Company in the Serrated Sun Chapter. Argel's implantations and initial training was overseen by the Apothecary Turyon. Tal was a native of Colchis, inducted in the Word Bearers Space Marine Legion by First Chaplain Erebus, who at first had chosen him to become one of the Legion's Chaplains. Later, he would be referred to as the Crimson Lord of the Gal Vorbak captain of the Word Bearers' first daemon-possessed Space Marines.
